Personal Information Access

This subsystem provides the capability for travellers to receive formatted traffic advisories from their homes, place of work, major trip generation sites, personal portable devices, over multiple types of electronic media. These capabilities also provide basic routing information and allow users to select those transportation modes that allow them to avoid congestion, or more advanced capabilities to allow users to specify those transportation parameters that are unique to their individual needs and receive travel and weather information. This subsystem provides travellers with the capability to receive route planning from the infrastructure at fixed locations such as in their homes, their place of work, and at mobile locations using personal portable devices and vehicle-based devices. In addition to end user devices, this subsystem may also represent a device that is used by a merchant or other service provider to receive traveller information and relay important information to their customers. This subsystem also provides the capability to initiate a distress signal and cancel a prior-issued manual request for help.

Security Considerations

Security considerations for Personal Information Access include the measures necessary to safeguard the personal and financial information that may be entered by individual users. Personal Information Access subsystem equipment is typically privately owned and operated, and includes the use of portable or handheld devices. Devices such as these are prone to theft and misuse. Information coming from these personal devices should be authenticated to verify that the requester is who they say they are and that the information they are given is limited to the information requested or to information that is available to the public. In general, the Personal Information Access Subsystem handles personal and financial information that needs a relatively low degree of confidentiality to safeguard the information. In addition, it is important but not essential that the information is available. The integrity of the information is also important in order to prevent improper financial transactions and accessibility to unauthorized information.
